No not crocodile tears but crocodile keys; this is a toy from Fisher Price. The crocodile is suitable for children 18 months and over.

This is an attractive toy a green crocodile. , a musical toy this can be played as either a xylophone or a piano. The crocodile looks friendly big eyes and a wide grin
This toy is a green plastic crocodile shape measuring 35cm long, 16 cm wide and 9cm tall. It needs 3 AA batteries.

There are 6 large brightly coloured keys on the crocodiles back red, blue yellow, maroon, green, purple. To make music with these keys your child has to hit them with the yellow stick that is attached with a blue string. The stick is stored in the crocodiles mouth, the music your child can make is quite noisy, yes but the sound not too harsh. If your child wants to take croc for a walk then he can pull him along holding the drum stick that is atached to that blue string, the crocodile will bob along nicely behind him.
Now to play in piano mode by each key there is a matching coloured button which makes a piano sound when pressed again this is not too harsh a sound.


So what benefits will your child get from this toy? Well your baby will realize that by making an action he will make a sound this is a good cause and reaction toy. Your child will practice his coordination skills, he will also entertain and get the adults attention, also learn to tell different colours apart tell your child the colours as he hits them so he will soon pick up the colour names. You could use this toy to count with too sing number rhymes or count as your child bashes (sorry plays the keys).
Rhytm making and music patterns are really good for developing your child .

Children love music and making sounds. Do praise your child talk to them; you never know you might have a budding musician in the family.
